Audi E-Tron 55 review by a Tesla owner. Would I swap? Side by side comparison v Model X S 3

#tesla #etron #teslavs

Is it better?
Can it compete?
What’s the range and efficiency?
Would I be tempted to switch to sell my Tesla and keep it?

This is a 2019 Launch Edition 55 with a 95kwh battery pack.

In future videos we will show more tests and comparisons about performance, range and charging speed compared to Tesla and other EVs

I love them both but own an etron purely on how it makes you feel when sitting in it. It's just quality everywhere and the wipers just work! (Always frustrated me in my model3)
The air suspension is easily as good as my old range rover.
My commute is a 60 mile round trip so the Range is not an issue 99% of the time.
I love Tesla and everything they have done and are trying to achieve.
No hate here.
By choosing electric, whatever car or brand we choose, we all deserve a pat on the back for doing our bit and trying to save this planet. All our homes.

Quick, pertinent, no waffling, no fluff, good factual data of interest. Good piece

Drove a model Y, bought an e-tron, *note I drove an etron premium plus and almost cancel my purchase, but I stuck it out, glad I did, when my prestige showed up, I was smiling from ear to ear, it’s a totally different car. The double panned glass makes a huge difference in sound, the front massaging seat are amazing and the matrix headlights are awesome. However, I suggest everyone look for independent non-Tesla super chargers in your area first before purchase

After watching that review, if I was in the market for an EV SUV, I'd buy the Audi.

Regarding the wing mirrors, normal mirros can change their view depending on how you position your head when you look at them. Want a wider view? Move your head forward. Can't do that with an image.

I made the "mistake" of driving the e tron at my local dealer, yesterday. Was getting info on upcoming Q4's. The e tron has one of the nicer interiors I have been in, and one of the best ride qualities around. Dead silence, well damped ride, just quality quality everywhere you look and touch. I really like the feedback on the screens, was expecting just the haptic touchy feeling but pleasantly surprised that there was an actual push click to activate. Unfortunately Tesla does nothing for me. I prefer my cars to be cars, with real interiors and thoughtful design, doesn't need to be different just because its propulsion method is now electric. Consumer reports has Tesla pegged second from the bottom in reliability atm, info I've not shared with a buddy (and his brother) who has a Y on order.

Been looking at Electric Cars and test drove everyone. Ionic 5, Kia EV6, Audi Etron and as soon as i sat in the Tesla model Y it was an instant buy. Most comfortable seats i've ever sat in, panoramic window and white, clean interior and minimal interior made it feel like i'm in a space ship. Sound system and speed / acceleration was amazing. Boot space and trunk space massive. Technology on the car and Charging network is super impressive. Have my Model Y ordred and can't wait until next month.

There is only one thing that is better about the tesla and thats the fact that basically everything is standard.. the e tron starts at around 70k but you need atleast 30k worth of extra equipment to make it good.. i have an e tron and i hate the way audi sells their cars, its less equipped than a stock vw golf as standard.

Anyways, this was a very well informed review, best ive seen!

Ive driven 23k kms(~15k miles?) and not a single problem. Im lucky to live in norway where fast charging infrastructure is amazing, 150kw chargers are absolutely everywhere, yoy will always find one close by. The car is a monster in snowy conditions, chewing through heavy snow and slippery roads with ease, while still being relaxing to sit in. The 426bhp is definetly enough to teleport past any slow moving objects on the road, its fun to give it some throttle. Ive got night vision and matrix lights in mine and you wouldnt believe how much it helps when its completely black outside, its saved me from crashing into an elk

Etron looks like an Audi.
That's what I love about it, electric car with Audi looks.

How can that be a bad thing?

[Bradsmit]

I just got my model 3 and I love it !!

[ottingervr]

Just got a 2021 etron and I am absolutely blown away!

[prisol]

Great review, straight to the point. No faffing around like some other channels :)

[oliverallen]

Audi is my favorite car brand, but I do enjoy Tesla’s vision of the future.

[vincent_hall]

I love new tech, but I actually don't like the wing cameras instead of wing mirrors.

If something can go wrong, it will, and I'd like to have the low-tech mirrors too.
They're simple, don't fail.

Cameras and mirrors can both be hit and smashed.

What I love about the Audi, is that it’s just a large Audi. It drives like a big Audi, and it rides like one. The build quality is also standard Audi, that being absolutely brilliant. It feels special, not in the way that it is modern and gadgety, but just because it is a premium Audi. Teslas have always tried too hard to be modern and “trendy” in my mind.

[InHisService]

Seriously, you can't beat the clean, classic look of an AUDI when comparing it to a Tesla. Not to mention that Audi is just a better well made car. I also like the idea of purchasing a car from a car company vs. a technology company. BUT, its the technology in Tesla that may ultimately compel a lot of car shoppers like me (who has purchased nothing but German cars for 20 years) to go with a TESLA.

Great video. I've had my model 3 for three years. Love it. Ready for something a big larger. Model Y is eight months order time. I found a 2022 Audi e tron and am going to give it a go.This video was helpful.

[mikefendel]

As others have said, great, to the point comparrison once again. My heart is always with the Tesla. But my ass for ride comfort and luxury wishes Tesla upgraded to be more competitive with Audi in those areas. Ill stay with Tesla until they do though because the driving experience is simply much more fun.

The etron has keyless entry in the US on the lowest trim and quite a few standard features that the Taycan makes optional. In relative terms the Taycan is wildly overpriced as far as standard features go. He also seems to think the storage behind the Model X second row is bigger but it is in fact 2 cu ft less than an etron. Also, if you have a 2 seat second row then you’re stuck with being unable to fold the seats down.

[Billeh]

The etron build quality and fit and finish are on a completely other level to the Tesla. The Tesla wins with the tech, but that’s about it for me.
